my cam is chipped i was looking at my cam and found a chip to be missing out of it. it's on the side of one of the lobes, is this cam trash ? or will it be ok since its only about a sixteen of an inch wide. i think im going to rma this cam, i was going to sell it, but im not going to sell faulty parts. good thing, i accidentaly already ordered two, and the second seems to be in good shape. theres a hole cut into the cam box from the lobe, so im guessing it was just rough shipping methods and not the distributors fault. imo it wasnt really packaged correctly though, no protection to the cam. just inside a cam box, then inside a slightly bigger cardboard box.
most cams are shipped like that, occasionally with paper wrapped around the cam as well. I havnt had any problem with shipping like this. Call the vendor and see what they say. You may have to file a claim with the shipper.

. i just want a refund on the cam. i was just asking because if it had no effect on durability, i would of just sold it to some one local as its a popular cam.. to avoid hassle's with getting my money returned as i have never had a pleasant experience with any company if something arrived as not what i ordered or damaged etc. ill see if i can rma it. if not i guess i'll see if i can get my mom's uncle to make a knife out of it as hes a blacksmith and the cam material would make a nice knife. or sword lol -lots of metal.
